Question

andrew has $10. For every yard he mows, he receives an additional $6.00.Which inequality is used to find the number of lawns,x, he needs to mow to earn more than $34.

Answer 1

Given that "Andrew has $10" so that is like a fixed amount.

Given that "For every yard he mows, he receives an additional $6.00."

If the number of yards mowed is x then the payment will be x times 6 which is 6x.

So total payment of Andrew is = 6x+10

Inequality means <, >, ≤ or ≥.

Andrew needs to mow to earn more than $34. So that means his total payment "6x+10" must be more than 34. For more than we use inequality >

Hence required inequality will be 6x+10>34
